I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"I know." A-Machi said with a sullen face, "Ryutaro told me all these things."

"Since you know, then I think you are even more ridiculous! Knowing that we Shiranui have cooperated with the shogunate, you can still say such brazen words!"

Heitaro raised his hand vigorously, and pointed at Nijo Castle in the distance.

"Have you seen the Nijo Castle? One of the Four Heavenly Kings in Shiranui, Mr. Kotaro, is leading the rest of our companions to guard the Nijo Castle!"

"The task of guarding Nijo Castle will only last until the end of tonight's banquet!"

"After tonight's banquet is over and there are no more tasks, Lord Kotaro will lead all the remaining combat power under his command to pursue you endlessly!"

"You may be able to defeat Rutaro with a moment of luck, but do you think you can defeat Master Kotaro with luck?"

"You should still remember Azhu! Azhu is your fate in the future."

After hearing the name "Atake" from Heitaro's mouth, Machi's face turned pale.

Just when Heitaro opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something more, a slender black shadow rushed towards him quickly, and then slammed his mouth hard.

This black shadow is Da Shitian.

Ogata pulled Da Shitian with the sheath from his waist, and then used the bottom of the sheath to draw heavily towards Heitaro's face.

Ogata showed no mercy.

The bottom end of Da Shitian's scabbard was drawn behind Heitaro's face, and while Heitaro flew out horizontally, several teeth splashed out of Heitaro's mouth.

Heitaro, who had just woken up, just passed out again.

"Machi, don't pay attention to what this guy said just now."

Ogata put Da Shitian back into his waist, turned his head and said this to A-Machi.

After turning his gaze back to A-Machi, Ogata froze, his eyes widened in astonishment.

I saw Ah Ding, who was shouting "I will kill as many as you come" just now, now his face was pale, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Mr. Qiushan, have you and your subordinates found Mucun?"

Akiyama shook his head: "No. Shiina-kun, how about you?"

Shiina, like Akiyama, is the same Yori of Kyoto.With a neatly shaved Tsukiyo head and a handsome face, although he looks young, he is actually nearly 40 years old and one of the elderly people in Kyoto Town.

Just now, Akiyama, Shiina, and the rest of the powers all received an order from Abbe Riri: to hunt down Yahachi Makimura who escaped from prison.

Although I am quite disgusted with the order to "capture Yahachi Mucun", it is an order issued by the immediate superior after all, so Akiyama and Shiina dare not disobey.

Where is Yahachi Makimura now?

do not know.

Are there any clues related to Yahachi Makimura?

The only thing that can be regarded as a clue is that Yahachi Makimura just appeared on Sanji Street where there was a sudden explosion.

Therefore, Akiyama, Shiina, and the rest of Yori could only lead their subordinates to conduct a search around Sanzi Street.

But until now, no sign of Yahachi Makimura has been found.

Doing this kind of task that doesn't count as doing is tiring.

Therefore, Akiyama and Shiina, two close friends who have a good personal relationship on weekdays, secretly got together, chatting while recovering their physical strength.

"I didn't expect Mr. Mucun to go back to Kyoto." Shiina smiled, with a strong color of nostalgia in his smile, "He is always like this all of a sudden. Kyoto disappeared, and now suddenly returned to Kyoto"

"Actually, I saw Mr. Mucun during the daytime today." Qiushan smiled wryly, "Master Mucun made a big commotion just after returning to Kyoto."

After all, Akiyama happened to encounter Mucun and Yakuza fighting on the street this afternoon, and then Mucun gave him a face, obediently captured him, and asked Akiyama to put him in prison. Shiina told Shiina about the series of events.

"For a little girl whose candy was robbed, and to help a friend, did you choose to go to jail obediently?" Shiina smiled, "These two things really have the style of Mucun-kun, Mucun-kun is like this. There has always been a chivalrous demeanor."

"Ren Xia haha." Akiyama laughed along with Shiina, "This description is so apt!"

In Qiushan's eyes, there was a look of admiration and longing at this time.

"Master Mucun has always been someone I admire a lot."

Akiyama spoke softly and slowly.

"Two years ago, on the day when the Tianming fire broke out, when all of us had to obey the order of Master Toda to protect Nijo Castle, only Master Mucun and Master Kunieda did not obey the order, but went resolutely. The civilians who chose to evacuate Kyoto"

"At that time, I still remember the backs of the two of them rushing in the opposite direction from us."

Shiina nodded, "Me too"

Shiina untied a gourd full of wine hanging from his waist, took a sip, and handed it to Akiyama: "Drink?"

"No." Akiyama waved his hand.

Seeing that Akiyama didn't drink, Shiina took the gourd back, sipped it, and said softly:

"Actually, there are many people like us who worship Mucun-kun and Kunieda-kun in the whole enforcing office."

"I have noticed just now that many people are simply carrying out the task of arresting Yahachi Makinura assigned by Abbe Riri with a perfunctory attitude."

"Hahaha." Akiyama laughed a few times, "That's right! I found out too!"

Speaking of this, Akiyama paused, and then added:

"I believe in Master Mucun's character! I don't believe that Master Mucun will do anything bad!"

"It's probably because that guy Abeliri deliberately troubled Mr. Mucun!"

"I think so too." Shiina nodded earnestly, "Abe Riri's relationship with Mucun-kun has always been very bad. Abbe Riri even made a joke of being stared down by Mucun on the day the Tianming fire broke out. scene."

"That guy Abeliri has always been vengeful. He must still have a grudge against Mucun-kun. I think he is deliberately looking for trouble with Mucun-kun."

Regarding Shiina's remarks, Akiyama couldn't agree more.

After nodding his head vigorously, Akiyama shrugged:

"In short, I trust Lord Mucun more than Abeliri. I hope Lord Mucun can hide and run away as he is now, and don't let us run into each other."

Before Qiushan could finish his words, one of his subordinates ran towards him panting.

While running towards him, he said loudly:

"Lord Akiyama! We found Yahachi Makimura!"

Hearing Tongxin's words, both Akiyama and Kunieda's faces were filled with astonishment.

"What did you say?" Akiyama exclaimed, "Did you find Master Mucun?! Where did you find it!"

"Dongshantong is nearby!"

"Take me there!"

Under the guidance of this Tongxin, Akiyama and Shiina hurried to Dongshantong Street not far from here.

Higashiyama Street is an unremarkable street that can be seen everywhere in Kyoto.

But at this moment, this unremarkable street is full of official servants, there are hundreds of them, and the number is still increasing.

Pedestrians on the street didn't know what happened, but seeing so many officials gathered here, they instinctively thought that something might have happened, so they hid far away.

The only remaining officials in Dongshantong are the officials, and Mucun, Shimada, and Hasegawa who are standing opposite the officials.

Akiyama and Shiina pushed aside the officials who were blocking them, and came to the front of the officials.

"Master Mucun" looked at Mucun in front of him, and the expression on Akiyama's face became complicated, "Why did you show up so brazenly?"

Just now when they let the same heart lead the way, Akiyama and Shiina learned from the same heart that Mucun was not found.

Mucun walked on the street swaggeringly by himself and shouted "I am Yahachi Mucun" to attract all the officials.

Shiina looked around and five people including him and Akiyama had already gathered around him.

The five names including the two of them were full of complexities at this time.

Their arrest target: Makura Yahachi is right in front of them.

But no one waved to his subordinates and ordered Makimura Yahachi to be brought to justice.

Everyone cast their eyes full of complex emotions on Mucun.

They are all asking Mucun with their eyes: "Why did you show up?"

"Everyone!" Mucun said loudly with a smile on his face, "Long time no see! Although there are many new faces, there are also many familiar old faces!"

"If possible, I'd like to chat with you guys more, but I don't have that time now!"

"Everyone, please help me!"

"I need your help now!"

"Some lunatics are planning to detonate something called a bomb in Kyoto."

"You can understand the explosive bomb as an explosive bomb that does not need artillery to fire."

"These lunatics installed bombs in every mountain hoko."

"Once the explosive bomb installed in the Yamaboko is detonated, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Countless civilians will be killed."

"And then countless civilians would be trampled to death in the ensuing panic."

"We will stop those lunatics from detonating Yamahoko at all costs!"

"With my own strength, it is impossible to dismantle the explosive bombs hidden in more than two dozen Yamahokos no matter what!"

"But it will be different with your help!"

"I don't need too many helpers, only 50 people are enough!"

"Only 50 people are needed to dismantle the explosive bombs in more than [-] Yamahoko!"

"Everyone, please help me!"

After finishing speaking, Mu Cun bowed vigorously to the officials headed by Akiyama and Shiina in front of him.

The helpers in the "finding helpers" that Mucun, Shimada and Hasegawa mentioned just now refer to the officials in Kyoto.

Now that the Yamaboko parade has already started, the only way to dismantle the explosive bombs in those two dozen Yamabokos at once is to rely on the power of the Kyoto officials, there is no other way.

Just after Mu Cun's voice fell, Hasegawa who was standing beside Mu Cun also said loudly:

"I am Huofu Thief Gai Chief Hasegawa Heizo! What Mu Cun-kun just said is true! I can testify!"

Akiyama, Shiina and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

What Mucun said just now contained too much information and had a strong impact.

Most of the people present still looked astonished.

Qiu Shan, who was the first to recover from the astonishment, pursed his lips, opened his mouth, and was about to say something to Mucun

Da da da

There was a sudden sound on a string of horseshoes.

Akiyama, Shiina and others followed the prestige, and their faces immediately sank.

It was Abeliri who came.

Abeliri was riding a horse, leading a few confidantes and galloping towards them with excitement on their faces.

The officials hurriedly moved to the two sides to make way for Abeliri to pass.

After riding his horse to the front of the officials in one breath, Abeliri jumped off the horse and laughed loudly:

"Makimura Yahachi! I finally found you! Hey! What are you all doing blankly? Hurry up and tie up Makimura Yahachi!"

Abe gesticulated excitedly.

However, Akiyama, Shiina and others around him did not immediately respond to Abe's order.

Abe's face showed displeasure when he saw the subordinates around him not moving.

"Hey! What are you all doing! Didn't you hear my order?"

Akiyama pursed his lips, then plucked up his courage and said loudly:

"Abe-sama! Makimura-sama just said that a group of lunatics planned to destroy the scene of the Yamaboko parade."

Before Akiyama finished speaking, Abe interrupted roughly:

"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you believe anything that Mucun guy says?"
